Vortex generator, wheels (brightly finished on the Appearance Package, as in the pic), zero-lift kit, brake cooling guides, HIDs, badge. The MR, like +05 RS, and the SE also have aluminum roofs. AFAIK, the tail were the same on all USDM IXs.

Interior
Shift knob, e-brake handle, gauges. There's probably something I'm forgetting. I'm sure other will add to the thread.

There is no MR ECU; they're the same in the USDM. What do you mean, "drop MIVEC," and why? If you don't mind my saying, there's no point to a MR conversion, as there's nothing to convert, other than the 6-speed. I'm assuming you won't be installing an aluminum roof, and if you choose to, why not just buy a SE? Your pic is exactly what a IX SE looks like.

^^ The only thing you missed for interior is the MR floor mats and the console around the shifter is different and has a MR badge on it
